Body Talk - John Otway & Wild Willy Barrett live at the Partington Theatre, Glossop

High Peak TV thoroughly enjoyed 50 Years of Otway & Barrett - a fundraiser for Glossop Mountain Rescue Team hosted by Demento66 at the Partington Theatre in Glossop on 8 March 2024. The evening began with an introduction from Claire Theaker, who is part of local not-for-profit events team Demento66. She welcomed the audience and spoke briefly about an incident when she required assistance from mountain rescue after a friend suffered an injury while they were walking in the Peak District. After her experience she decided with the rest of D66 to organise a fundraising event to support our local Glossop Mountain Rescue Team, who make themselves available 24/7, 365 days a year to locate and rescue the lost and injured in the High Peak, in all weather conditions. Support from the community was overwhelming. The event was sold out and the capacity audience were treated to a night of fun and stage antics from cult pop legends John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett, who did the show as part of their 50th anniversary tour - 50 years of Otway & Barrett - Half a Sentry - an evening of musical madness involving wah wah wheelie-bins and Bagpuss bagpipes among a selection of improvised home-made musical instruments, and their comedy interactions onstage were hilarious, with delivery and timing it takes half a century to craft. After the show Otway & Barrett mingled with guests in the bar run by Cask & Kitchen, signing autographs and posing for selfies with delighted attendees. The evening raised £1000 in ticket sales alone for Glossop Mountain Rescue Team.
